Finished The ABC Murders (7h53 total listening time, but I had already started when the readathon began) and Little Fires Everywhere (174 pages).Totals:
Little Fires Everywhere: 384 pages
The Silent Companions: 364 pages
The A.B.C. Murders: ?
I'm not unhappy with my reading this week and enjoyed the theme because I could read the books I had already planned.
I didn't do the challenge; I'm afraid none of my books fit the questions/challenges...
Until next time!
Following the month's theme: I read
(376),
(253) and read the first 100 pages of
.I also read/ listened to the first 25% of
and finished the last 40% of
. But those two were not keeping with the theme.All in all, I read almost 1000 pages. I'm quite happy with everything I read this round.
This month I (fortunately) DNF-ed Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet but loving P.S. I Love You and also (not this month's theme tho) listen to 79% of Daughter of Smoke & Bone .. it's been great for me :)
I’m new to this, this was actually my first readathon but I was awesome 👏.
I listened to Someone Like You, I've Got Your Number, By Your Side. I like this theme since it allowed me to focus on individual novels instead of series which was a relief in many ways. The audiobooks were each 5 hours or longer so the fact that I was able to listen to three is amazing. I love this option since I can still be doing what I need to do while continuing to hear the story. I feel like I was able to complete challenge 1& 5 this time so I can't wait for next month!
Day 7 I finished Jack of Hearts This means that during this round I:
Finished
Jack of Hearts 368
Persephone 144 pages
Two Can Keep a Secret 327 pages
Pride and Joy 144 pages
and read parts of
Rør ikke de som sover 70 pages
Sour Heart 145 pages
The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line 35 pages
total pages read this week: 1233
Not too bad considering I had a pretty busy work week to prep for todays conference.

I'm very happy with my reading progress this past week!
I have tried to read The Princess Saves Herself in This One, Milk and Honey, and Please Don't Go Before I get better..... DNF'd all of them. Now I'm reading Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke.

Thank you! I did have one evening where all I did was read when I had to stay in because of workmen.
I ended up doing a monthly reading vlog to wrap up all the books I was reading and included my progress and what I read for March's Ayearathon, if you fancy watching it. I shared the link in the March Media page cause I wasn't sure if I could post the link in this thread xDI managed to read about 3 books, but I ended up clocking out of the readathon early xD
